"The whole place is often uncomfortably crowded; expect long lines at the restaurants."

Fodor's
"The giant Lego-like castle is popular with families... but recent makeovers in all of the property's rooms make much of the property look more grown-up." Full review

Travel + Leisure

Gayot
"Debuting in June 1990, this colorful castle spawned a number of nineties-era theme resorts. It is still a fun-filled place whose medieval architecture and decor are popular with family travelers."
Lonely Planet

BlackBook

""South Beach in the desert" is how fans describe this "wonderful" Vegas landmark that "has changed a lot" over the years, but remains "smaller" and does "not overwhelm"."
Condé Nast Traveler
"For a tropical experience in Vegas, head to the Tropicana where you’ll find modern decorated rooms that will make you feel like you’re in South Beach." Full review
